Communist Sex
Communist Sex debut album ‘Lada Riva’ available through iTunes and Spotify.
The Swedish/Icelandic duo based in Gothenburg is made up of Hugrún and Daniel. “Daniel thought Hugrún had a fetish for communists but later found out that it wasn't true. That is how the theme for the album was made”.
Having met just 9 months ago the duo quickly started making music together and decided to record the album of which they say “We want our album to give out mixed emotions. We bring you melancholy and silliness all in one go”.
Lada Riva is an album filled with joyful dream pop enriched with Hugrún’s vocals. Tracks like The ‘Burbs, Compilation Of You and title track Lada Riva showcase a band who have quickly found a sound uniquely of their own and they play to their strengths in creating an album that maintains a high standard throughout.
The album also contains the occasional burst of short pop fun adding to the playfulness with tracks such as opener 1980 & Grandma’s Ol’ Socks.
From start to finish Lada Riva is a joy, fresh and melodic, one of the finest debut albums you will likely hear.
